Johnston Clark said: “The business has grown steadily over the past year and we anticipate Blackadders will continue on that upward trajectory in the months ahead.

“I am confident Emma and Petra will excel in their new roles.

“Both are vastly experienced lawyers who have displayed excellent commercial acumen and a real desire to help the firm to continue to move forward.

“Our new management board will be strategically focused to drive our growth and will play a vital role in planning for the future, ensuring we are best placed to meet the needs of our varied client base.

“As a result of the newly-elected appointments, it’s also a source of great pride that we now have a 50/50 gender split on our Board and this reflects our modern, inclusive and progressive business.”

Blackadders also recently retained four newly qualified solicitors after they successfully completed two-year traineeships and announced a new intake of six trainees.

The firm has a total headcount of 219, including 25 partners, and offices in Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Forfar and Arbroath.
